Abstract

The utilization of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) has become a safe and effective means of providing perioperative pain management. Regional anesthesia is a desirable component of the multimodal approach to postoperative pain control, minimizing opioid consumption, recovery time, and inpatient hospital stay. One example of UGRA is the pectoral nerve (PECS) block for breast surgery pain control. Simulation-based regional anesthesia education can help develop student registered nurse anesthetists' knowledge, skills, and confidence, bridging the gap between initial training and clinical practice. Do injectable nerve block models, compared to other teaching simulation prototypes, influence students' nerve block performance in the clinical setting?
